London is celebrating the centenary of Oscar Wilde's death on Nov. 30 with a flurry of exhibitions. Already up and running are "The House Beautiful: Oscar Wilde and the Aesthetic Interior" at the rather splendid Geffrye Museum in East London (through Jan. 21, 2001) and "The Wilde Years: Oscar Wilde and the Art of His Time," which opened last week at the Barbican (through Jan. 14). The most ambitious of all, "Oscar Wilde: The Centenary Exhibition," opens at the British Library on Nov. 10.
